LUNGevity Announces New Link with LIVESTRONG

WASHINGTON, DC (April 2, 2012) —LUNGevity
Foundation is pleased to
announce a new referral agreement with the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s LIVESTRONG Navigation Services. Under the agreement
those seeking lung cancer-specific support from LIVESTRONG will be directed to LUNGevity Foundation as a resource.
LUNGevity will also refer patients who would benefit from the organization’s
resources to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, and will list the Foundation as a
resource on their Caregiver Resource Center. The agreement reflects both organizations’
spirit of cooperation in best helping cancer survivors. LIVESTRONG recognizes LUNGevity’s unique
role in the lung cancer community as a premiere resource, and LUNGevity is
pleased to be able to reach even more people impacted by the disease through
LIVESTRONG, and direct individuals
seeking relevant help to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Founded in 2001,
LUNGevity funds research for the earlier detection and more effective treatment
of lung cancer. The Foundation also creates community and connects people affected
by lung cancer with other patients/survivors, caregivers and medical experts to
get the information and support they need, as well as offering information and
referrals to other organizations. Resources LUNGevity provides include the
largest lung cancer-specific online support community; LifeLine, a
telephone/email buddy program; the Caregiver Resource Center; an extensive
online blog; Ask the Experts, providing experts at visitors fingertips; a
clinical trials matching service; and LUNGevity LinkUP for those interested in
becoming advocates. With over 60 locally-based events
every year, LUNGevity has the largest grassroots lung cancer network in the
nation.

“LUNGevity is
very pleased to announce our referral relationship with the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s
LIVESTRONG Navigation Services,” said LUNGevity Foundation President Andrea
Stern Ferris. “Both of our Foundations share the same passion and commitment to
helping cancer survivors. Through this collaboration, LIVESTRONG can better serve those impacted by lung cancer and LUNGevity
can reach more people who need our help.”

The Lance Armstrong Foundation acts a resource for the cancer
community, and aims to address the unmet needs of cancer survivors by
encouraging collaboration, knowledge-sharing and partnership.
